Owner's Description


Captain America #373 features the 13th cover appearance of Bullseye + his 1st crossover cover appearance!

Overstreet 2023 NM- 9.2 value = $8.

According to the CGC Census Report as of Tuesday, August 22, 2023, out of a total of 39 Universal copies graded, 17 copies were graded in 9.8 with 0 copies graded higher!

With these statistics in mind, this represents a rarity factor of 43.59% of the total population.

HOWEVER, this is the much RARER NEWSSTAND EDITION VARIANT, which means that you can estimate that ONLY about 2-4% of all 9.8s (graded and ungraded) are Newsstand Edition copies—with this stunning example possibly being THE ONLY CGC GRADED 9.8 NEWSSTAND EDITION COPY!
___________________________________________________________

Published in July of 1990, artists Ron Lim (penciller) & Danny Bulanadi (inker) had the pleasure in depicting Bullseye’s 1st PARTIAL crossover cover appearance outside the Daredevil title!

Although Bullseye appeared in the previous issue—Captain America #372, he wasn’t featured on the front cover. In turn, his previous cover appearance was on Daredevil #200, published in November of 1983, nearly “7” years prior to Captain America #373!

Hence, the caption to the left of Bullseye’s facial profile states:

PLUS: THE RETURN OF BULLSEYE!

In the follow-up issue, Bullseye makes his 1st FULL crossover cover appearance outside the Daredevil title, in a stunning and dominant depiction of him choking Captain America over the ledge!

In my opinion, Bullseye is one of the most psychotic and deranged villains ever created by Marvel! As a result, Bullseye’s early cover appearances are some of the most violent, brutal, and entertaining in comics and are HIGHLY COLLECTIBLE!
